How to use Multi-Windows on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Using multi windows on the android platform has only been on top devices like Samsung and LG. Google on their newest OS thats the android 6.0 Marshmallow has added the multi-window support but this feature is hidden. I guess thats because its still on trial. I will be showing you how you can access this new multi-window feature on your device if you are using android 6.0 Marshmallow.NoteThis tutorial is only for devices running on android 6.0Device must be rootedAnd most importantly, Do at your own risk!First download and install any root explorer (eg ES Files Explorer)Launch the root file explorer and navigate to the system folder which is found inside the root folder of your device ie device/system directory

Inside the system folder, you will find build.prop file. Open it with any text editor app. (ES Explorer has build in text editor)Grant Super User access if it appearsCopy and add the text below at the end of the build.prop filepersist.sys.debug.multi_window=truesave and exit the text editor.

If done correctly, when you open recent app menu, you will see a new square icon near close [X]. Tap this icon and you will be presented with options to select new layout of the task you want to execute. The layout can either be landscape or portrait.

Enjoy.............Remember to show off with this new feature on your device LOL.............
